Recommended reading: Taihe Temple.

At this moment, the black pressure on both sides of the square in front of the Taihe Palace is full of civil and military officials, according to the custom, the civil officials are on the left and the military attaches are on the right.

As with the large-scale court meetings held by the imperial court, all the officials above the fifth rank in the capital had to participate in the ceremony.

In addition to the civil and military officials, Luan Yiwei set up a halogen book in front of the Taihe Palace, the music club and the sound department set up the middle and Shaole on both sides of the eaves of the Taihe Palace, and set up the Dan Majesty to be happy on both sides of the Taihe Gate, looking at a joyful scene.

The cabinet elders, the officials of the six ministries and the governors of the five prefectures and other important civil and military ministers stood on the front steps of the Taihe Palace, ranked according to their grades, and lined up from top to bottom.

Li Hongyu and other tributes stood on both sides of the imperial road in front of the Taihe Palace according to the ranking of the examination, and there was a distance of four or five meters from the imperial road, among which the tributes of the southern volume stood on the left side, and the tributes of the middle volume and the northern volume stood on the right side.

As the leaders of the Five Classics of the exam, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were naturally able to be at the front of the queue, which is also a great honor.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites placed a throne in the center of the gate of the Taihe Palace, and set up a yellow case on the east side of the throne, and the emperor of the palace examination will be placed above the yellow case.

Although there were a large number of people in the Taihedian Square, it was so silent that it was terrifyingly quiet, and even the sound of someone farting could be heard clearly.

Of course, in addition to the civil and military officials abiding by the rules of the court meeting, those who patrolled the crowd also contributed to the supervision of the imperial history, and once they found that someone violated the rules in a whisper, they would be immediately corrected.

At about six o'clock in the morning, under the gaze of everyone at the scene, the first assistant of the cabinet walked into the Taihedian Square with the imperial list in his hand, which made the tributes refreshed.

According to the etiquette system, after the emperor came out, the important ministers of the imperial court wanted to invite the emperor to come to the Taihe Hall to ascend to the throne and preside over the ceremony, so those civil and military officials who stood on the steps in front of the Taihe Hall then followed Fang Congzhe to the Qianqing Palace to invite the Wanli Emperor.

In a tense and depressing atmosphere, at the beginning of the hour, the imperial chariot of the Wanli Emperor entered the Taihedian Square surrounded by Fang Congzhe and He Zongyan and other important ministers of the court.

This made the tributes waiting there become excited, except for Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, no one had seen the Wanli Emperor, which invisibly made the two stand out in the eyes of the Wanli Emperor, and it can be said that they quietly occupied the advantage.

"Greetings to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Under the gaze of everyone at the scene, Emperor Wanli sat down on the throne in the center of the gate of the Taihe Palace, and the civil and military officials knelt down and solemnly performed three kneels and nine bows to show their awe.

After the civil and military officials at the scene finished saluting, the Wanli Emperor nodded to the Honglu Temple Siqing who was standing aside, and the Honglu Temple Siqing bowed to the Wanli Emperor and walked to the front steps and preached loudly:

"In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the emperor tried to test the tribute of the world, the first class gave the Jinshi and the first, the second gave the Jinshi background, and the third class gave the same Jinshi background."

Subsequently, the Honglu Temple Siqing walked quickly to the yellow case, picked up the holy decree placed on it, and returned to the front of the steps again, and slowly opened it in front of the civil and military officials, which made the hearts of the tributes on the scene immediately raise their throats, and everyone wanted to know what name they had taken.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Wanli has not been tested in the forty-seventh year of the palace, and the first place in the first class, Li Hongyu, a tribute from Baihe Town, Jiangkou County, Xiangyang Prefecture, Huguang, has been appointed as the champion."

"The first place in the first class, Li Hongyu, a tribute from Baihe Town, Jiangkou County, Xiangyang Prefecture, Huguang, was hand-picked as the champion."

"The first place in the first class, Li Hongyu, a tribute from Baihe Town, Jiangkou County, Xiangyang Prefecture, Huguang, was hand-picked as the champion."

After bowing to Emperor Wanli, the Siqing of Honglu Temple read out the holy decree in a frustrated manner, and after reading Li Hongyu's name three times in a row, he stopped, looked at the tribute standing at the foot of the steps, and waited for Li Hongyu to come out to thank him.

It is worth mentioning that the names of the first champion, the top eye, and the tanhua are sung three times, that is, the Honglu Temple Siqing has to read the holy decree of the three high schools three times, while the jinshi of the second and third grades only read it once.

It must be noted that the time when "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict" appears on the holy decree is the Ming Dynasty, created by the Hongwu Emperor, and the correct sentence is "Fengtian carries the emperor" and "the edict", not "Fengtian carrier" and "the emperor's edict".

"Minister Li Hongyu, thank you Lord Longen." Li Hongyu, who was in front of the queue of tributes on the left side of the imperial road, suddenly let out a long breath when he heard this, hurriedly walked to the edge of the imperial road, and knelt down solemnly to Emperor Wanli next to the left side of the imperial road.

The tributes present immediately cast envious glances, and the civil and military officials who were standing on the steps in front of the Taihe Hall also looked over, wanting to know who the champion was.

Looking at the corner of Emperor Wanli's mouth who was kneeling on the imperial road, a smile flashed, and he bowed slightly to Li Hongyu, seemingly quite satisfied with Li Hongyu.

"The second place in the first class, Zhao Xin, a tribute from Baihe Town, Jiangkou County, Xiangyang Prefecture, Huguang, is hand-picked for the list."

"The second place in the first class, Zhao Xin, a tribute from Baihe Town, Jiangkou County, Xiangyang Prefecture, Huguang, is hand-picked for the list."

"The second place in the first class, Zhao Xin, a tribute from Baihe Town, Jiangkou County, Xiangyang Prefecture, Huguang, is hand-picked for the list."

Immediately afterwards, the Siqing of Honglu Temple spoke again and read aloud.

After reading it, Siqing of Honglu Temple couldn't help but be slightly stunned, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he was quite surprised that Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu were from the same town.

He also thought that he had read it wrong, and hurriedly checked the holy decree carefully, and it was clearly written that Zhao Xin was also from Baihe Town, Jiangkou County, Xiangyang Prefecture, Huguang.

At the same time, with a bang, the tributes and civil and military officials at the scene couldn't help but feel a commotion, and their faces showed shocked looks, no one thought that Bangyan and the champion were both from Baihe Town.

Li Hongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he was not surprised that Zhao Xin was able to win the top spot, after all, Zhao Xin had already shown a strong force when he was taking the exam, and his ranking was second only to him.

"Minister Zhao Xin, thank you, Lord Longen!"

A look of joy appeared on Zhao Xin's face, although she was confident that she had won the Sanding Armor in the exam, but after this moment really came, she couldn't help but be a little confused, shook her head vigorously, and then walked quickly to the right side of the royal road, and knelt down next to the edge of the right side of the royal road.

If you look closely, you will find that although Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu are kneeling on the left and right sides of the royal road, the positions of the two are not parallel, and Zhao Xin's kneeling position is lower than Li Hongyu, after all, Li Hongyu is the first and should be at the front.

"The third place in the first class, Gongshi Zhuang Jichang, Qingyang Town, Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, is designated to explore flowers."

"The third place in the first class, Gongshi Zhuang Jichang, Qingyang Town, Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, is designated to explore flowers."

"The third place in the first class, Gongshi Zhuang Jichang, Qingyang Town, Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, is designated to explore flowers."

After Zhao Xin knelt down and bowed, the Siqing of Honglu Temple couldn't help but raise his voice and continue to read the holy decree.

"Chenzhuang Jichang, thank you, Lord Longen!" As the inner attendant's voice fell, Zhuang Jichang walked out of the queue and knelt behind Li Hongyu, whose position was lower than Zhao Xin.

It is worth mentioning that the names of the first champion, the top eye, and the tanhua are sung three times, that is, the Honglu Temple Siqing has to read the holy decree of the three high schools three times, while the jinshi of the second and third grades only read it once.

As a result, the Sanding Jia, which has not been tested in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, has been produced, and the people who are talking in a low voice on the scene have gradually quieted down.

Although they were shocked by Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, who were from the same town, the emperor's decree had been issued, and there was no possibility of changing the matter.

"According to the custom, Li Hongyu was awarded the revision of the Hanlin Academy, and Zhao Xin and Zhuang Jichang were awarded the revision of the Hanlin Academy, hoping that he would fulfill his duties and become the talents of my Ming Dynasty."

Siqing of Honglu Temple glanced at Li Hongyu and the three of them kneeling in front of the hall, and read out the holy decree in an orderly manner.

The revision of the Hanlin Academy is the official position of the sixth grade, and the revision of the Hanlin Academy is the official position of the seventh grade, don't look at the official rank is not high, but it is a close minister around the Son of Heaven, the best among the scholars, not only the promotion speed is amazing, but also has the power to supervise the impeachment of hundreds of officials, which can be described as the leader of the clear stream.

Otherwise, there would not be so many Jinshi competing for the exam, and their purpose was to enter the Hanlin Academy and become the Hanlin.

However, after passing the palace examination and directly becoming a first-class jinshi of the Hanlin Academy, you can write "hand-picked Hanlin" on the sign held in the honor guard of the opening road, while the official who becomes the Hanlin through Shuji does not have this honor.

"The ministers must do their best to repay the emperor's kindness." When Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and Zhuang Jichang heard this, they hurriedly kowtowed to Emperor Wanli again.

"The first place in the second class, Kong Yunzhen of Jurong County, Tianfu should be in Nanzhili."

Emperor Wanli bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and then signaled the Honglu Temple Siqing to continue to read the holy decree, and the Honglu Temple Siqing then preached in a deep voice.

"Minister Kong Yunzhen thanks Lord Longen." Kong Yunzhen hurriedly walked out of the queue and knelt behind Zhao Xin, and his position was further back than Zhuang Jichang.

"Second place in the second class......

With the sound of the Honglu Temple Temple's subdued voice, the second and third Jinshi came out of the queue and knelt on the left and right sides of the royal road in order, and the position of the latter Jinshi was lower than that of the previous Jinshi.

After the reading of the holy decree, the band located in front of the Taihe Hall began to play the "Qingping Chapter", creating a festive atmosphere at the scene.

"Thank you for the emperor's grace, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

At this time, Li Hongyu stood up and led the top three jinshi behind him to bow three times and bow nine times to Emperor Wanli who was sitting on the throne again to thank the emperor.

Emperor Wanli knew that these top three jinshi were excited at this time, and he must have wanted to go out of the city to share the joy of being admitted to the jinshi with his relatives and friends.

Therefore, Emperor Wanli did not say anything, and after encouraging the new scholars, he drove back to the palace, and the civil and military officials on the scene knelt down to see him off.

After Emperor Wanli left, the civil and military officials on the scene began to leave, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward to put big red flowers on the bodies of Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and Zhuang Jichang, and brought three high-headed horses with smooth and bright manes for the three to choose.

The Jinshi who obtained the Sanding Armor were able to enjoy the glory of riding a horse in the Forbidden City, and the horseback riding here was a real horseback riding, not a ride on the shoulder or anything in later generations.

Of course, when choosing horses, the natural champion has priority, Li Hongyu chose a horse with a black body, and stepped on the horse's back as soon as he jumped over, he had ridden a horse in the horse farm before, so he had a lot of experience.

Perhaps under the influence of Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and Zhuang Jichang also got on their own horses, and then followed Li Hongyu to the Taihedian Square, followed by the second and third class Jinshi.

According to the process, Li Hongyu and his entourage will leave the Forbidden City from the noon gate, and go through the Duanmen, Chengtianmen and Daming Gates to the left gate of Chang'an.

The gold list of the palace test was posted on the notice wall outside the left gate of Chang'an, in order to announce the world and make the Xian envoy know.

Because the left gate of Chang'an is called "Dragon Gate", and the right gate of Chang'an is called "Tiger Gate", so the emperor list is posted on the left gate of Chang'an with the meaning of "carp jumping dragon gate", as long as the title of the gold list means that it has jumped over the "Dragon Gate" to step into the official career.

When passing through the noon gate, Li Hongyu found that the main gate of the noon gate had been opened, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were holding the reins of his horse led him straight out of the main gate, while the rest of the civil and military officials walked through the side doors on the left and right.

It stands to reason that only the emperor and the empress can walk through the main gate of the noon gate, and it is naturally the emperor's grace that the top three jinshi can go out through the noon gate.

At this moment, the notice wall outside the left gate of Chang'an has been surrounded by people watching the excitement, and there are people in the capital and people who stay in the capital.

When Li Hongyu, who was riding a tall horse, appeared in front of people's eyes, the scene suddenly resounded with warm cheers and applause, and people witnessed the demeanor of Zhuang Yuanlang, and Li Hongyu smiled and bowed to the people on both sides of the road.

If it was in the Song Dynasty, Li Hongyu and these Jinshi behind him would become fragrant and sweet in the eyes of famous families, and the Song Dynasty was popular to "catch sons-in-law under the list", that is, to snatch those new Jinshi home as sons-in-law.

The Ming Dynasty did not have the atmosphere of "catching sons-in-law under the list", which was naturally related to the Ming Dynasty's advocating of science, and the laws of the Ming Dynasty also clearly stipulated that repentance of marriage would be punished, and it would be shamed by the world.

And the Jinshi's moves are usually past the age of the weak crown, even if there is no marriage match, there is a marriage contract, so if you want to grab it, you can't snatch it.

The news that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin won the champion and the top eye soon spread throughout the city, and quickly set off an uproar in the capital.

In the discussion of the people in the capital, two days later, that is, on March 24, Li Hongyu led the new branch jinshi to the Ministry of Rites to participate in the banquet presided over by the Ministry of Rites, which is commonly known as the Qionglin Banquet, and the examiners of the examination, the government examination and the palace examination were all present.

After the banquet, Li Hongyu led all the new science and technology scholars to the Confucian Temple to pay homage to the holy master Confucius, and then went to Guozijian to erect a monument and put the name of the new science and technology scholars on the stone tablet.

At this point, all the processes of the palace examination are completed, and the next thing is the examination for the selection of the second class jinshi and the top twenty jinshi of the third class, and then the assignment of official positions to the second and third class jinshi.

However, this has nothing to do with Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and Zhuang Jichang, the two have been awarded official positions by Emperor Wanli at the Chuan Yu Ceremony, so they have to go to the Hanlin Academy to report and officially enter the official career.
